    Its like some symbolism where there rank chokes the person beneath the uniform. Actually makes me feel kinda sick.

    Yeah you may be overthinking this a bit

        Sure, but it still seems like overthinking the symbolism.

          You literally can’t! Or underthink it, lol. If that’s the meaning you take from the work, that’s what it means to you.

          More or better evidence of the meaning might strengthen your position but viewer response as an idea is inherently individualistic.

          Does that mean that, say, Starship Troopers is just about squashing bugs? Well, not really, but it doesn’t mean those people didn’t enjoy an simple action movie, no notes.
